Organism Interactions & BiodiversityQuestion 1 .

A state was planning to construct several hundred miles of new railway in an area that was currentlythe habitat of many different plant and animal populations. During the planning stage, state officialsasked two scientists to come up with plans to help reduce the impact of the railway construction on thebiodiversity of the area. The two plans are described below.

Plans for Maintaining Biodiversity in Area Proposed for Railway ConstructionPlan Plan Highlights

Plan A

Perform a wildlife survey to determine the best locations for construction based on thepresence of endangered or threatened species.

Start construction of aboveground rail tracks in selected locations; as constructionproceeds, create wildlife corridors that help connect divided animal populations tomaintain genetic diversity in the region.

After construction is complete, replant with native plants along cleared constructionareas where possible.

Continue to monitor the area for changes in populations and form new action plans asneeded.

Approximate cost of plan: $5 billion

Plan B

Perform a wildlife survey to determine the best locations for construction based on thepresence of endangered or threatened species.

Dig large underground tunnels in selected areas in which all of the rail tracks will beconstructed.

Line tunnels with concrete to provide stability, construct rail tracks, then cover thedisrupted areas with soil and native plants so that the habitat is only minimallyimpacted by the presence of the underground railways.

Continue to monitor the area for changes in populations and form new action plans asneeded.

Approximate cost of plan: $30 billion

It was determined that Plan B would likely limit habitat disruption better than Plan A. State officials,however, decided to go with Plan A.

Why did the state officials probably choose Plan A?

A. Plan B would not have been as effective at maintaining biodiversity.

B. The economic demands of Plan B were too high.

C. An aboveground track will look better than the underground one proposed by Plan B.

D. Plan B would have caused many of the populations to go extinct.

Suppose a population of rock pocket mice livesin an area of rocky terrain. The graph below shows the distribution of body sizes within the populationat the time the mice began to live among the rocks.
